PortableApps.com Platform

No scrollbar appears when listed all applications, and also not the the "old" arrows up and down. Cannot scroll the applications. Scrollbar appears only when folders are shown. I work on Windows XP.

Hi,

I just upgraded to the Next Pre-Release 5 and really like it. I enjoy the layout and the app updater worked great on all the older apps.

Just one suggestion (I think), unless I am missing it?

How can I minimize the PA.c Platform it to the tray? This way it doesn't take up space in my task bar.

I am on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Thank you

Hello,

I have a new suggestion for the Portable Apps Platform.
In following I write PAP for "Portable Apps Platform".
By the way: I am using the version 4.2 of the PAP.

When I start the PAP, I have 7 applications that I always start.
So every day I have to click 7 times on the PAP menu and select the desired application.

Here it would be useful to define sets of applications.
A set is a name and a bundle of installed portable applications.
Sets are also shown in the PAP app list so I can search for them and also start them.

HI all,

I'm running into some issues with the latest 4.2 release of the PA.com platform.

First of all, I'm running a lot of portable apps from my server, so the path is \\servername\apps\portableapp
This way it doesn't matter what pc I sitting behind at the house, and it's easily copied to a portable HD for using 'on the road.

Buty here are my 'issues':

First I tried to install PA.com onto the server, but it cannot resolve the UNC path and throws a location error. I just installed on a local HD and moved the files over. Workaround> solved!

The "Portable App Directory" just displays apps, that I do not have installed.
For an error report I wanted to see what apps I have installed (a complete list), but this is not possible.
Such a list would also be useful to show it to colleagues and friends.

An Idea would be a Checkbox below the list with the text "Show installed apps".
If this box is checked, then also all installed apps are shown.

Hello,

Some apps (like "System Explorer") are outdated.
Means that the version offered as portable app is older than version offered on the official home page of the app.

Here it would be useful to see this information while downloading apps via the PAP (in the "Portable App Directory" window).
You also should show the version number of all portable apps in a separate column.

Installed Next 4.2 release and I am no longer able to scroll the app window and using the up arrow at the app bottom, the app disappears from the screen but is still running according to task manager. Icon is missing from Task box.
XP home Netbook with planty of disk and memory. Previous App worked fine.

How do I rectify the problem.

Hello,

At the moment the hot key to display the PAP is [CTRL]+[ALT]+[SPACE].
It would be fantastic if I could configure this hot key in the preferences.
Useful if this hot key is already used by other applications or of I just want to have an other hot key.

Hello,

When I download new apps via the PAP, it would be very useful to search for apps in the "Portable App Directory" window.
Here a search field should be displayed (like the search field in the PAP) where the user can enter search criteria.

If I have entered some text, then just those entries are shown, that contain the search text.

Hello and sorry if the problem has been mentioned elsewhere. My attempts at "search" haven't found anything.

I see a strange problem when I use the USB device outside of the Windows world, or even on Windows programs that don't use the standard file-explorer window.
